Title: Porn sites supporting the Wii!!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 03, 2007, 01:18:33 PM
Remeber what was the deciding factor in the VHS vs Betamax battle?

Porn picked VHS!
Yes, that was the ONLY reason VHS bacame the standard... did you need another one?

Now Porn sites (one in particular so far) has adapted their site to be Wii friendly

Remember when parents were freaking out because kids were able to load pornography onto their PSPs via memory stick? The pornography industry goes where the money is, and right now the hot item is Nintendo's Wii, which just-so-coincidentally launched a web browser just before Christmas. In the meantime, some sites have already started adapting their designs to fit the slightly skewed resolution.
Ars Technica was alerted by a reader that a certain website that is absolutely not safe for work and you'll have to track down through a mysterious link elsewhere, recently made an alteration to its design when a Wii user approaches. I, um, "confirmed" this information with my own Wii, discovering a link that only appears when accessing via Wii.

Not surprising, but...you know...interesting -- has this happened for the PlayStation 3 browser? Guess I better go...find out.


and you know what this means...
Wii will now be the industry standard and all sensible logic points to this being true.
You can't argue the point, because the Porn Industry always backs the winner.

Now go play with your Wii, you know you want to.


ignore the fact that porn was briefly being distributed on UMD, it was forced by Sony and doesn't count.

The website specifically mentioned in the Ars Technica blog has always been laid-out that way. They didn't change a thing to make it "Wii-friendly"  

*Edit* Never mind, I didn't read the text as carefully as I should have. I'll have to browse that site from the Wii to see the difference.

So porn picks HD-DVD over blu-ray

and now picks Wii, makes sense, I mean the name "Wii" sounds porn related in the first place

Porn picked HD-DVD over BRD?
when did that happen?
Title: RE: Porn sites supporting the Wii!!
Post by: Rancid Planet on January 03, 2007, 05:33:04 PM
Well this is just the last straw!

A thread that starts off talking about porn and then makes some kind of dirty joke at the expense of the pronounciation of the word "Wii". I've never heard of such unruly behavior on a forum. The next thing you know kids will be playing with hula hoops and listening to Pat Boone records what with their ice cream sundays and all that damn roller skatin'....

According to that inteview, they only choose BRD initially because the company they are working with on that specific movie is a Bluray supporter from the start. Now that Sony has dropped the ball in the "supply the demand" depaartment, I wouldn't be surprised to see all of their HDTV-DVD content primarily goto HD-DVD w/ consideration to Bluray afterwards, and not the other way around as mentioned in the interview.

And according to this post(on AVSforums), HD-DVD is the current favorite for the majority of the Porn industy, and its mostly cause of cost of disc and manufacturing.

I’m the HD project manager for the largest US adult catalog and think “adult” could influence the format battle.

We were initially going Blu-Ray because of Sony’s Hollywood and CE commitments, but the cost differences in hardware and most importantly, disk replication, combined with good HD DVD and bad Blu-Ray buzz changed our decision to releasing only on HD DVD. Right now, it looks like most of the adult industry will go the same way.


edit: actually I got the dates wrong, your interview was from 7 days before the PS3 and mine was from 2 months before.
So maybe attitudes have changed, who knows. We'll find out soon enough, they are all saying that videos are to be released soon, so we'll see which format they goto once they get released.

I'm surprised that Ninty didn't put in an adult content filter into the browser.

I wrote an article on this very topic for theWiikly, but they didn't post anything new this week.

Honestly, the fourth thing I thought of doing with the Wii browser was look at porn, and except that it doesn't support enough movie formats, it's pretty darn good at it.  The Wiimote is equal to or greater than a mouse and stuff that looks tiny on a high-res computer monitor looks fine on my old TV set.

Not only can your child access pornography along with WarioWare and Guitar Hero; the porn industry is advertising to target those toys.

For Laurn Schroeder, protecting her first grade girls is a priority. "[They're] innocent, and we want to try and keep them that way," she said."

But because the Wii, the PS3 and other game consoles have Internet access, it's easy for kids to access porn.

"It's very upsetting something this popular—a kid game—can go that direction so quickly," Schroeder said.

Young kids get it. In a blog, one child boasted, "The first thing I thought of when I downloaded the Wii browser was also porn."

What's worse: Some porn sites are advertising they are "Wii Friendly." Their screens have been reconfigured to fit the Wii and the Playstation 3.

"That's why it's so important to read into and do research and background checking before you invest in it," Schroeder said. She studied her daughters' Wii to identify the built-in parental controls.

Other parents, however, complain that Nintendo's scheme is unsatisfactory, and that the Wii browser lacks a "cyber-nanny" or filtering function.

For now, the Schroeder girls will keep playing. But their mom is keeping an eye on an industry that she says tricks and targets kids into learning too much, too fast.

"We need to keep them protected from people who want to invade a fun game like the Wii," Schroeder said

"For now, the Schroeder girls will keep playing. But their mom is keeping an eye on an industry that she says tricks and targets kids into learning too much, too fast."

Which industry?  The porn industry or the game industry?  She probably means the game industry because it's so damn obvious that Nintendo, who makes ZERO INCOME from pornography, intentionally wants kids to become obsessed with sex and thus not buy any Nintendo games because they're too k!ddy.

The porn industry is to blame and kids shouldn't be looking at porn (kind of like how kids shouldn't be using firearms, smoking or drinking alcohol) but I just know there is going to be a "games are evil" slant.  Some people are just anti-fun.  I mean there are fun things that are bad for you but some people take it to the extreme conclusion that fun itself is bad.

She also refers to the Wii itself as a "game".  Severe ignorance of how reality works = FAIL.

So does the internet channel also work under the restrictions of the parental controls or no?

Post by: couchmonkey on January 12, 2007, 04:10:10 AM
Good question, Smash_Brother.  I have to admit, it should.  Parents should be able to disable the browser (or filter it, but I'd say disable it altogether).  Other than that, this is one of those silly WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN? articles.

I imagine there will be parental controls in some capacity in the Opera browser by the time it gets released.

Seeing as to get internet access to the Wii you pretty much need (1) a router or (2) a computer with the Nintendo wireless adapter, if the parents care about filtering their children's internet access then it should already be filtered at one of those two points.

I followed a web crawler here... they always look through some of the most interesting threads ;)

Anyway, it does look like the Porn Industry picked a winner afterall.
two of them actually since they did end up backing Bluray too.
